1 u + 17 + 34 = 1 u + 51 |
At first, Gabriel had $17 more than Hazel. After giving to Hazel, he had $51 less than Hazel. This means he gave Hazel more than $17.
Additional amount that Gabriel gave to Hazel
= (51 - 17) ÷ 2
= 34 ÷ 2
= $17
Total amount that Gabriel gave to Hazel
= 17 + 17
= $34
Answer(s): $34
